Path to Programmable: Application Instructions

image
Path to Programmable

About Training Project | Course Syllabus | Application Instructions | Mentors | Terms & Conditions | Trainees Announcement

 

This is NOT a Design Challenge. See Special Note below.

 

The Path to Programmable project will train five element14 members and provide them with free FPGA/SoC training modules with lab exercises. Once the training has been completed, the trainees will build a project with the MiniZedTM development board based on what they have learned.

In return for both the FREE training and the MiniZedTM development board, the five trainees will blog regularly on element14 to journal about their learning experience, covering both the high points and the challenges of learning to program FPGA/SoC devices. The blogs will be read by the community and the sponsors to learn more about how to make the path to developing with programmable devices easier to realize.

 

Eligibility

You must be an element14 member to be eligible. Go here to register. All element14 members are welcome to apply.

 

Application Form

All interested members must submit an application via the Design Challenge group before the end of enrollment. (Note: We are using the Design Challenge group because the application infrastructure is in place and easy for our members to use, but this is NOT a Design Challenge.)

 

Application Instructions

1. Please complete all required information (contact information, etc.)

image

In the Project Title field, just fill in "Path to Programmable Applicant or your Member Name"

Please use the email address that is associated with your element14 profile. In the event that you use another address, please provide your member name in the Project Title field.

2. Complete the open comments section of the form.

Like a Design Challenge application, you will need to tell us why you want to be selected as a sponsored trainee for the Path to Programmable training project. When you plan what you are writing, think about the following things:

  • You are competing for a place. The most persuasive applications are the ones that attract the eye of the selection team.
  • A single sentence application will never be selected as an official trainee. This project, like training projects, is not a game of chance.
  • Be as detailed as possible, but don't write a book.

 

3. In addition to the information requested in points 1 and 2 above, please include in your comments answers to the following questions:

 

  • What is your background in FPGAs, SOCs, or programmable devices?
  • What development tools have you used with programmable devices?
  • Describe your embedded design experience. (You can talk about courses you have taken, work experience, examples of projects, etc.)
  • What kind of problem solver are you? (Expert, Very Experienced, Experienced, Student). Describe a problem you have solved.
  • Describe how you participate in the element14 Community. Examples of programs, projects, blogs, etc. can be included.
  • Do you have the time and availability to commit to this approximately 12-week project that will require you to: watch the training videos, complete the lab exercises, and build a project. (If you have to work in the field for extended periods, have family commitments, or are expected to have a health issue (i.e., surgery) during the project, you may want consider if you can indeed complete the program.)

Special Note

The Path to Programmable is NOT a Design Challenge.  It is a professional development training project sponsored by Xilinx in conjunction with the element14 Community. element14 members who submit applications are competing to receive FPGA/SoC training only.

 

For any general questions about the Path to Programmable project, you can post a comment on the About page.

 

To keep up-to-date with the Path to Programmable project, please bookmark this project.

 

The deadline for application submissions is 27 August 2018.

    That is really a good idea , to make it easy to access the code through git

    Randall,

     

    I would request, that every participant could also post and make an git repo for the project.

     

    Recently I got an comment one one of the video I posted for my previous design challenge, he was requesting for my project code. And I did post that In my blogs, but those were just W.I.P. So I created an repo at GitHub image

     

    And I am really looking fwd seeing element 14 doing more of this sort of challenges.

     

    Regards,

    GS Gill

    Tariq,

     

    thanks for the comment. For this program, we are selected 5 trainees only. But you can benefit by getting the board and following along with the blogs that the trainees will be frequently writing.

     

    I would guess that if this program goes well, we will offer other programs similar to this in the future.

     

    Thanks.

    Please make the program open to all students. Restricting it to 5 students would limit  it to 5 students

    @Hank , You are talking about Element 14 Community Buddy. This is one of the most prestigious Online Community of Makers, Industrialists, Hobbyists and Professionals.

     

    I would request you to first first go through the Community there have ben past So many successful Design Challenges that this community has undertaken. And before jumping to conclusion that this community is Fake first be a part of the community.

     

    We have an Introduction to New Members Fourm where you could just say "Hi" and We do also have a Help and Support section where I would recommend you post If you are facing with some Issues. Further In This community Everyone is trying to help everyone.

     

    So, Please Get the facts straight before blaming the Community of some Fake thing.

     

    Regards,

    GS Gill

    I opened up the enrollment for another 8 hours since you along with some other people had technical problems submitting an application.

    I re-opened applications for about 8 hours. Please apply.

     

    Here's how:

     

    1. Go to this page:

     

    Path to Programmable

     

    2. You will see a big orange button called "Join the challenge" click it.

     

    3. You will see the application form open up. Fill in the required information. In the comments are, make sure to answer the following questions:

     

    • What is your background in FPGAs, SOCs, or programmable devices?
    • What development tools have you used with programmable devices?
    • Describe your embedded design experience. (You can talk about courses you have taken, work experience, examples of projects, etc.)
    • What kind of problem solver are you? (Expert, Very Experienced, Experienced, Student). Describe a problem you have solved.
    • Describe how you participate in the element14 Community. Examples of programs, projects, blogs, etc. can be included.
    • Do you have the time and availability to commit to this approximately 12-week project that will require you to: watch the training videos, complete the lab exercises, and build a project. (If you have to work in the field for extended periods, have family commitments, or are expected to have a health issue (i.e., surgery) during the project, you may want consider if you can indeed complete the program.)

    4. When complete, scroll down to the bottom and click "Submit Application"

     

    Good luck.

    A lot of people applied without problems. I'm not sure what you were doing. Just saying it's fake does not helping matters. Tell me what you did. I tried applying yesterday and had no problem.

    This is the strategy of Element14

    1) Write fake announcement about the training

    2) Ask people to register to false training till the given deadline

    3) Provide fake applicaiton form

    4) Not allow anyone to register

    5) As a result you will gain many registered users

     

    P.S. application deadline already passed, so nobody can regsiter any more.

    But to be able to register I had to create account for Element14

     

    My advice to others - DO NOT CREATE ACCOUNT in element14, this is fake

    I have login many times, but still it does not work

    It says please compleate the sections, but it is like a image user cannot edit it

     

    So still I think you guys wrote really low quality page, it is soo strange that so difficult to register for a training

    Please use google app forms and everything will work much better
